Noone dared disturb the sound of silence but her. You may call him “The Silent Duke”. Tall, hot, and brooding, Ernest can make anyone stare -or despair. Not uttering a word, he keeps everyone at a distance. And he likes it that way. Until he finds a letter from his long-dead father. Ernest would be speechless -had he not been all along- at what the voice from the grave suggests: He must produce an heir. Suddenly the Silent gentleman finds himself on the marriage mart. And despite his looks and title, this is not an easy task. For how can he seduce a lady when he can’t even speak?! Miss Helena has always been a wallflower. Already on her third season, she’s about to become a spinster, too. Now any gentleman would do. Even the one no lady wished to wed. Seeing Helena in desperate need of a match, Ernest offers her his hand. Helena accepts, but can she really trust him? His eyes tell one thing, but the way he pushes her away screams another. Will Helena bridge the distance or burn her bridges to protect herself? After all, a man in silence is a man full of secrets…Secrets that will tear them apart. Their tangled bodies are the only words needed…
